Well my response would be pretty much the exact same one I provided in the video.

A few maybe additional points:

1. Yes, we get barreled off the best hand ocasionally. What does it change though really? I've already said we can't tripple barrel as a bluff anyway. I.e. If villain is holding QJ (the most frequent barreling hand in his shoes once checked to him) - he will win the hand 100% of the time if the turn and river are bricks no matter what action we choose on the flop.

2. I think you may be a lot more right when it's a SB vs CO situation. Like now if we c/call both AQhh and AKhh as well as AThh (not 100% sure how this hand plays better) and JThh (very clear c/call for me) we're kind of left with just a few combos of flushdraws that we barrel away. This seems like a mistake I made when creating this video. I fairly often one sadly, I tend to treat CO as BTN too often. However without going in-depth on my own ranges I can't really say whether everything I said in this paragraph becomes an actual issue in my gameplan. Furthermore I said that Im using a mixed strat and both AK/AQ are c/calls about half of the time so basically in the end we only lose like 1 combo of flushdraw in our cbetting range which I believe can't be an issue nor exploitable in any way.

Thanks for the response Jonas. I think seeing it in written form helps me to learn as well, much appreciated.

This wasn't a several part vid. At least I didn't intend on creating more on this topic. I guess I could if more people show interest in it as I still haven't decided what's my next vid going to be.

I dont think I will be able to find enough interesting spots when we're OOP. My database was recently cleared up a bit and it's not such a high occurance spot overall. IP is obviously very doable and I might just do that.

Why would I want him to fold his air hands?

How am I going to balance this without losing too many precious hands in my cbetting range? Having a c/raising range is all fine and good but it has its own costs like significantly weakening my cbetting range.

I think we're often gonna get called by his 1 pair hands leaving us in an awkward spot OTT where nothing better folds nor anything worse calls yet having only a pot sized bet left. Our equity does drop signifcantly on blank turns and on heart turns I dont think we're getting paid by his one pair hands. Now on the other hand if he bets the flop, turn comes a heart and goes check check then I dont think he's ever folding to a river lead when he's holding a flopped 1 pair hand. Sort of even outs in terms of value gained.

"I guess it comes down to whether or not we want to be barreling QJs JTs on the turn or not. On the offsuit turn I think we are better off with the 16 combos of AQ so we block KQ and sometimes have 3 outs. "

I'm really not sure what you're asking me but this seems pretty close to what I said in the vid. Basically the reason why I wanted to double AQ hands rather than TJ QJ (which have better potential as tripple barrels) is because it's not drawing dead or at least not drawing dead as often as TJ QJ hands are.

Id also stay away from 3betting K5s 75s 64s. 22 is a bit too loose for me vs most as well.

I'm really sorry but I don't understand anything you're trying to ask me. Could you please try to re-phrase it?

in the first hand, you said if our hands like QJ or QT, we can block villain's hands like KQ KJ ot KT. I am not understand at this. how can we block villain's range like that? could you please tell me why?

in my experience, if we three betting the hands like QJ QT JT OOP, our hands seems like always fall behind the villain's when we hit a pair on the flop. Because villain will call the 3betting like AQ, AJ or AT.

Well if you're holding KcQc then villain can no longer have such hands as KcTx, KcJx, QcJx, QcTx. That's how we "block" them.

Regarding your 2nd point, sure we get dominated quite often but all of these hands will often times have a flushdraw/gutshot/OESD to barrel away. None of these hands (except for QJ) are 3bets if they're ofsuit ones so the playability of suited connectors/one gappers is pretty great regardless of position.

wow, this is really helpful.

sorry for the trouble again, but I have another question. why the QJo can 3bet oop? does it have the same reason? I mean QJo can block many hands like AQ, KQ, AJ, KJ, QT, JT

well in SB vs BTN scenario you want to be 3betting a linear range of top x % of hands. QJo often times is strong enough to fit that range even though it being ofsuit. It's not about blocker value when you're using a depolarized 3betting range.

Also it blocking those hands is actually a good thing - meaning that he will fold more often vs our 3bet because all those hands you mentioned are pretty clear defends vs 3bets.

thanks

look forward your next video:)

I prefer to have wider c/calling ranges when either the villain hits the board way better than I do or when I don't have much of a range advantage while having decent board coverage. In this scenario I don't really have many 5x and 7x hands so don't want to split them up that much. I do believe that c/calling as PFR is more of a defensive strategy kinda being inferior overall. I prefer capitalizing on the initiative until I'm told otherwise.

In this scenario I'll still c/call some %age of the time but I'll be generally leaning towards betting the vast majority of my range (i.e. >60% of the time?). So yeah, the hands you proposed are definetely reasonable candidates and if I was to have a wider c/calling range I'd include most of them there.

You seem to think that you'll be facing a bet at a high frequency once you check to the villain - this isn't really the board that people will bluff/semi-bluff that often nor (I do believe) will vbet that thin. There's really no protection needed for hands like TT/JJ in villain's shoes nor can he represent that many value hands (I expect people to x/b quite a bit of TPs on such board).

There are however a lot of hands that can improve on various turns so kinda letting the villain to x/b all of those hands (i.e. every single random bdfd hand) ain't that great.

Regarding turn and river gameplan, yeh it's roughly what you described.

Jx hands i've got are far from majority of my entire range so really why would I want to induce the villain when I don't have strong enough hands to bluff-catch afterwards?

Hey, I'm not sure I understood everything. I would never raise KJ with fd on either flop or turn. I don't see any point in doing anything else but calling - you don't really have a value raise while it still has a lot of equity and potential bluff-catching potential on certain run outs.

I'm very glad to hear such a positive response, thanks!

I think you're strongly overestimating the amount of SDV AQ holds by the river. I'd say that we're going to win about 0% of the time if we check. I'm not sure what sort of A-highs you have in mind that we beat OTR cause I personally can't spot a single one.

Also villain calling 2 streets with 7x hand/99/TT/JJ is pretty std. on such turn - they'll almost allways win vs my bluffs because they don't have great equity as well as have some room to improve vs my most likely value hands which are 1pair type of hands.

I don't think you'll ever see anyone betting less than AI in this situation. The ~50% PSB would be so weird for me that I don't even know what I'd do.
